Passanger wing mirror GC8 Help

[jimme18]

Hi

My passenger wing mirror is loose and flaps around in 1995 wrx.

the electronics still work well so currently I have done a hori job and taped it down..

How do I stop it flapping? there are 3 scews under mirror on the exterior but I cant get at them due to angle, should I fully remove the wing mirror from the inside of the car, if so, how do I do that?

Cheers

There is a little piece of plastic that covers the screws that hold the wing mirror in place. Just be very careful when pulling it off because one of the clips broke off when I took one off. Can take a photo if need be.

But no idea on how to stop it flapping.

the flapping means its poked.

dont try pulling the mirror appart - the center mechanism of the mirror is poked and plastic lock out thing is sloppy as., time for a new one - i had the same issue a while back - mirrors just wear out after a lot of in and outs

I could try and glue it without it being obvious?

Or some sorta non-obvious adhesive

No. Its worn out. Replace the whole mechanism with a new wing mirror

If you don\'t care about the folding function you can squeeze some silicone in between the mount and the mirror head, set it in place and give it a few hours to cure, not perfect but good for a quick fix and if you are careful and use clear silicone pretty much invisible

Was my thoughts as well, I went to a wreakers and they wanted $75 so might just silicone
